I downloaded gcc-4.2.1.tar.bz2 from ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sources.redhat.com/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-4.2.1/ and ran bunzip2 and then tar -xvf. The latter fails with:
....

Although this seems an odd place for a file to be extracted to, I tried creating it instead. However, I then got:

I then downloaded gcc-4.2.1.tar.gz instead, from the same site.
I get this error:

Searching on the internet I failed to find anything about this issue.
All this is on AIX 5.2
Please let me know how I can progress.
